Off the line, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 hits 100 km/h in 8.73 s versus 9.00 s for the 3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. At this point, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 leads by 0.27 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is doing 114 km/h against 118 km/h for the 3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. The gap is 0.55 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 crosses the line in 16.39 s versus 16.76 s. The 0.36 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 maxes out at 180 km/h while the 3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8 keeps accelerating towards 214 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
Around 777 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 34 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8 finishes in 29.59 s versus 29.70 s. The 0.10 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.56 kg/hp vs 7.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.81 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 wins (8,73 s vs 9,00 s).
Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,73 seconds (calibrated simulation).
